About this short report

As you read your short report, or any other astrological report, keep in mind that the energies interpreted here are your birth potentials. However, you may or may not choose to actualize these energies in the manner described. Your age, sex, socio-economic situation, education, environment, level of development, and many other factors contribute to the ways in which you express your natal energies. Remember, the planets do not compel you to do or be anything. They influence you, but you still have the free will to determine your own life.

Uranus square Ascendant: Sudden separations

End of April 2017 until end of March 2018: This influence is likely to have a very disruptive
effect on your relationships. Influences may enter your life that will challenge the
foundations upon which your life is built. This challenge will be reflected in surprising
encounters with others that upset your way of living or in sudden separations from persons who
you thought would remain in your life for some time. Or it may be that you yourself are the
catalyst of all these changes as you seek to become free of circumstances that have become
oppressive.

During this period it is quite likely that you will do things and go to places you never would
have thought of in the past. The old patterns of your life simply can no longer encompass
what your life is becoming now.

From all of the above it should be obvious that this is not an "evil" influence, although
anyone who is wedded to the status quo in life or to their own past will find this period
difficult to contend with. Old patterns that have acquired a stranglehold over your life will
break up. You may not have been aware of these patterns, because many people find their
"strangleholds" quite comfortable, at least until much later on.

The people who enter your life at this time may be quite different from anyone you have known
before. Some of these relationships may be quite brief. You may encounter someone for a
specific purpose, which you may not be aware of at the time, and once that purpose is
accomplished, the relationship ends.

If a new love interest enters your life at this point, it is likely to be exciting, free and
totally unpredictable. Do not make a permanent commitment to it until well after the end of
this period, for such a relationship is likely to be very unstable and brief.

From 14 September 2017 until 24 September 2017: This is such a pleasant influence that you may
be inclined to sit back, enjoy it and do nothing. However, this is really a very important
time in your life because you can reach out into new areas of life and have new and rewarding
experiences. Your creative potential is enormous at this time, and you can very easily
accomplish a great deal that would be difficult at other times. Your inner energies are
strong, and you are full of self-confidence and the feeling that you can do anything.

This influence usually indicates good health and a feeling of well-being, although you may be
inclined to put on weight if you are not careful. You may not feel inclined toward physical
activity, but it would be a good idea to get some exercise. Make a particular effort to be
outdoors. Hiking is a very beneficial activity at this time.

If you are inclined to physical activity, especially athletics, don't take foolish risks
through overconfidence. This influence tends to make you overestimate your energies.

This is an excellent time for all financial matters. You will feel like making your
surroundings appear more elegant, and you may spend quite a lot of money doing so. This is
perfectly fine, and you should think positively in all ways, but don't let this concern with
material acquisition blind you to some very real possibilities for inner growth.

Travel, either physically or mentally, often accompanies this influence. Take this time to
broaden your understanding of the world around you. You have a strong interest in ideas that
are different from what you normally know and encounter, and you are much more tolerant of
different ways of living. Even people's usually irritating traits do not bother you at this
time. Also your sense of humor is much greater than usual, and you can appreciate the dance
of life in all its glory.

Jupiter square Ascendant: On the lookout

From 18 September 2017 until 28 September 2017: This is usually an excellent time for most
kinds of relationships, but there are some pitfalls. Basically this influence signifies a
desire to grow and advance through contacts with others. Probably you are willing to give as
much as you get, although in some people this influence triggers a desire for advantages
through others without giving anything in return. In fact as they get ahead, such people act
arrogantly toward everyone, even those who helped them. This causes others to reject them,
and when they hit hard times there is no one to help them out.

But this result is totally unnecessary, and all you have to do to avoid it is to keep a sense
of humility and recognize what others have done for you. With this influence you have the
potential to become a truly better person, but only if you keep these warnings in mind.

Quite frequently this influence brings a seemingly "lucky" chance through a friend or
associate. But it is not luck so much as the fact that you are very sharply on the lookout
for opportunities that can benefit you. Your sense of timing is very acute, and your
sensitivity to others and their needs is greater than usual. That is one reason why it is so
bad to ignore others' needs, because you don't even have the excuse of ignorance.

Benefits can come to you in either your personal and domestic life or in your public life.
There may be an opportunity to make money or to make improvements in your home that will make
it much more pleasant. Or you may meet people who will help you learn more about the world
and expand your view of it in various ways. You have to be willing to let this happen,
however, which means you must be receptive. This is another area in which being arrogant
brings the risk that you will get nothing of lasting value out of this period.

Jupiter square Mercury: Big plans

Mid-December 2017 until end of August 2018: This influence signifies increased mental activity
and a desire to communicate to others something that you consider important. Whether or not
your message is important, you probably think it is, so you should take the time to see if
that is true. There is no point in loading people up with your ideas and opinions unless they
are worth something. And when you speak to others at this time it is vital that you listen to
their response. For although you have big ideas and plans, there is a tendency now to
overlook details. You may be unwilling to listen to criticism, but if you listen and heed
what you are told, this can be an excellent time for making decisions, planning, negotiating
and concluding deals or agreements. But this will happen only if you listen to others'
opinions.

This is usually a time of optimism and positive feelings. You have confidence in your ideas
and are able to get them across. Communications of all kinds are important to you; for
example, you may conceivably do some writing at this time.

It is also important not to overextend yourself. Make sure that your plans are no larger than
your ability to cope with them. Sometimes with this influence the pace can get pretty hectic,
because you have to handle many different affairs at once. This is when sloppy thinking can
become especially dangerous.

During this period you may encounter resistance to your ideas and opinions from a number of
sources. It is a good time to examine your ideas and see how well they really hold up in an
argument. It is a good time to change any views that do not hold up because you can easily
enlarge your viewpoint under this influence. You feel no need to be petty or quarrelsome, but
you do feel compelled to defend the ideas that are important to you. Any truly important
beliefs will hold up during this confrontation and become more a part of your basic mental
pattern than ever.

End of December 2017 until mid-September 2018: This is usually a very favorable influence. It
gives your emotions a great deal of power, so that you feel them much more emphatically and
are more in touch with them. At the same time you want to establish empathetic relationships
with others, to hear their problems, to help out and play a protective role toward them if
possible. This influence may make you feel very sentimental about and attached to your
surroundings and to familiar objects. Your past is very important to you now, and if there
are events in your past that you find uncomfortable, they are likely to come up. There is
often a need to confront the unconscious areas of the psyche during this time, but you should
regard this as an opportunity to be healed of the wounds made by these energies from the past.

In emotional relationships, this influence can create a tension between your desire to be
close to someone and the desire to be free. Be careful to give your loved ones the same
freedom that you want, and do not try to be unfairly possessive of them. Also, confrontations
with the unconscious aspects of yourself mentioned above can affect relationships adversely
during this time. In such cases it is necessary to cultivate a sense of detachment and not
become so wrapped up in your emotions that you cannot see beyond them.

This influence gives an enormous concern with social and individual justice. You are easily
outraged when you see someone getting the short end of the stick, but your emotionalism may
make it difficult to see a good solution to the problem. Try to avoid feeling self-righteous
and intolerant. You will need to have a very open and generous point of view in order to
clear up any conflicts that occur at this time, and emotionalism masquerading as righteousness
will not accomplish anything useful. Instead, take advantage of the ample positive side of
this energy by helping those who need it. Protect the people you can protect and succor those
who have been hurt. Magnanimity is just as much in accordance with the meaning of this
influence as are extreme emotionalism and self-righteousness.

Jupiter opposition Mars: In a big way

Beginning of January 2018 until mid-September 2018: This is an extremely exuberant influence,
which inclines you to do everything in a big way. Your energy level is high, and you are
ambitious in everything that you do. You have a great need to expend physical energy, but be
careful not to act recklessly. Discipline and restraint are necessary, no matter what you do.

Do not overestimate your abilities, either to yourself or to others. You are capable of doing
quite a bit under this influence, so you don't have to exaggerate. It is especially important
not to kid yourself about your abilities, however, because you will genuinely try to do the
impossible and quite possibly exhaust yourself in the process. For the same reason, don't
take unnecessary chances. The feeling of omnipotence that this influence confers is not real,
at least not to the extent that you feel it.

Sometimes this influence can signify a conflict with another in which you try to break away
from the other's restrictions. It is difficult to say in general whether your estimate of the
facts is accurate, that is, whether the other person is really demanding too much or
restricting you too much. Therefore you must examine the issue very carefully before you act.
You have a great need to be self-assertive at this time, but be sure to reserve it for a
situation in which it can be constructive. Avoid acting upon impulse. It could get you into
needless trouble.

On the other hand, this influence also confers real courage. The difference between courage
and foolhardiness is simple self-knowledge, which you must have in order to make this
influence work out positively. If you are cool and collected in what you do, this can be a
time of considerable triumph as you overcome obstacles and accomplish deeds that you usually
would feel incapable of. If you have to stand up for yourself, you can, and in a way that
makes further dealings with your opponents constructive rather than destructive. But this
will happen only if you keep your head.
